​Announcements

Board of Directors Meeting—Our next board of directors meeting is November 19th at 4:30PM. To accommodate ongoing social distancing measures, the meeting will be open to the public virtually by calling 1-712-775-7031 and using access code 857-611-943#.
Breastfeeding Support—Michigan WIC offers a warmline: 833-649-4223. The line is available 7 days a week from 8AM-8PM for anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding, not just WIC clients! If you are a WIC client and cannot reach your peer counselor, call the warm line for immediate assistance.
Water Repair Assistance Program—Mid Michigan Community Action is participating in the statewide Water Repair Assistance Program through the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services as part of Michigan Coronavirus Relief Funding.

The program will ensure low-income households have access to hot and cold water, a toilet, a tub or shower, a kitchen faucet, and a laundry tub by providing a variety of well, septic, hot water heater, and plumbing repairs.

​The program will only run until December 30, 2020, so it is important for residents to apply soon by calling the nearest office:

Offices will be closed to the public during this time. While our offices are closed, most services are still available. Please contact your local office for more information.

Senior Food Distribution Calendar

​If you are in need of food but you are not a senior commodity food customer, or you are a senior commodity food customer, but you need more food, please contact 2-1-1 for referrals to local food pantries in your area.

​Commodity food distributions have a few changes to ensure the health and safety of all involved: Please remain in your vehicle when you arrive at the site. We will be checking you in from your car and will place your food box in your trunk.  If the line is too full to safely enter, please park your vehicle in a parking spot and wait. Do not block entrances or exits with your vehicle. We will remain on site until all customers have received their food. Private site distributions will also continue. We will modify our procedures for each unique setting.
